Nucleic Acid Isolation
It is well known in the scientific world that the purity and integrity of the isolated DNA has a significant impact on the final outcome of downstream genomic analysis. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to rely on optimized and well-proven isolation systems when performing any kind of genomic analysis.
ecogenics has extensive experience with the isolation of nucleic acids from various sample matrices like plant material, stool, hair or environmental samples. By using our automated isolation methods and critical know-how we are able to process your samples quickly and efficiently. Profit from our experience. Improve your overall productivity by spending more time evolving your experiments and analyzing your data rather than expending time and effort on optimizing your DNA isolation approach.

Sample Matrices
ecogenics is able to process a large variety of sample matrices and DNA sources. Our well-proven and validated protocols for nucleic acid isolation ensure that the following 4 steps are professionally handled:
- Effective disruption of the cellular structure to generate a lysate
- Clean separation of the soluble nucleic acids from cell debris and other insoluble materials
- Separation of nucleic acids from soluble proteins
- Final high-level purification of nucleic acids
Sample Matrix Description
| Sample Matrix | Description |
| Animal soft tissue & cells | skin, muscle, internal organs |
| Animal hard tissues | bone, teeth, shell |
| Animal integumentary system | feather, hair, fin |
| Body fluids | blood, mucus, saliva |
| Plants and Seeds | fresh, dried and herbaria samples |
| Fungi | mycelium, fruiting body |
| Environmental samples | water, soil, faeces |
If you don't find your sample type on our list, please contact us and we will find out how we can help you.
Additional Services
Complex Matrices
You have unusual volumes, shapes, matrices, origins or consistency?
Most probably we have already worked with such samples and developed a standardized isolation protocol.
If not, we will be able to develop an individual approach.
If not, we will be able to develop an individual approach.
Sampling/Sample Tracking
To simplify your sampling procedure, we can supply you with the transport vials, transport buffers and containers.
Precise sample tracking with a barcoding system is possible.
For certain project we can assist your field sampling.
Examples of complex samples and sample tracking we have already worked with:
